WHAT IS A FREIGHT CORRIDOR
• Multijurisdictional network• Multimodal options may exist• Significant traffic generators or traffic volume• Must consider both nodes and networks• Integration of supply chain considerations
(operations)• Economic integration into a regional framework
EXAMPLES OF REGIONAL THINKING
• I-10 Corridor• LATTS I+II• I-70• I-5 Coalition• Border Crossing Coalitions• I-95• I-81• Heartland Intermodal Corridor• Appalachian Regional Commission• DRA, Related Regional Groups doing freight studies• Marine Highway, Truck Division, modal studies

NATIONAL FREIGHT NETWORK
• Primary freight network• Designated within one year• Based on inventory of freight volume• 27,000 centerline miles, existing roadways• 3,000 additional miles possible• Redesignation every 10 years
• Other portions of the Interstate System• Critical rural freight corridors.
STATES CAN PARTNER TO IDENTIFY STRATEGIC NEEDS
• A way to share information on system use and traffic• Supply chains, regional trends, performance measures• A mechanism to work with regional agencies • Common message – generates common actions
• An input into State planning• Data and economics• Freight Advisory Group agreement• Improved access to data and models
• A benchmark for collaborating federal requests
